Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Best Rheumatology Dr. I've ever been to
Dr. Ahmed is a wonderful Doctor. She explains everything to my understanding not only with words but also by showing me pictures and such. She is the third Rheumatology Doctor that I have seen due to a move from Metro Atlanta. She is by far the best of the doctors that I have seen. Her office does not run like an assembly line. She takes ample time with her patients to make sure that you totally understand everything. Everytime I leave her office I tell her how happy I am with her. I highly recommend this Doctor. In my opinion she is a Five Star Doctor!

PATIENT
Arrived in severe pain throughout my body. Headaches, muscle tendon, shoulder and hip pain. Dr. Ahmed appeared to recognize my problem but proceeded with indepth questioning, and review if my medical information. Her preliminary evaluation was polymyaligaRheumatica. She provided treatment and medication and required extensive blood work. After 1 day I could function with minimal pain and it has progressively improved. This was after 2 years, mir's, CT scans and 5 different physicians. I can't express satisfactorily in words how great I feel after only one visit. This doctor knows the diseases she treats, she listens snd takes action.

Dr Ahmed takes time with you at each appointment to understand your needs. She is friendly & compassionate. I was new to Columbus & she made me feel comfortable from my very first visit. She has helped me transition to new medication & worked with my insurance. Her staff is friendly & are always ready to help in any way. I am so blessed to be one of her patients.

Dr. Ahmed is both kind and well versed regarding the multiple conditions I live with everyday. She's encouraging, offering comfort and different suggestions towards "self-empowerment" each visit to engage with my community in areas of interest to me; reaffirming that other medical conditions could be flaring up then follow a course set in place with my other doctors; and she gives me "orders" to simply rest, sleep, and accept assistance from my husband and son. I will be following her to Atlanta

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Ahmed?
She was rude and insulting. She dismissed my concerns. Basically told me there was nothing wrong with me but that I'm overweight. I'm overweight but that has nothing to do with my lab tests or the pain in the joints of my hands, wrists, elbows and shoulders. Then she asked if my hair was fake. I was so furious and discouraged when I left there! I will definitely be finding another doctor!
